12 Gestetner, David
SUBJECT AREA: Paper and printing[br]b. March 1854 Csorna, Hungaryd. 8 March 1939 Nice, France[br]Hungarian/British pioneer of stencil duplicating.[br]For the first twenty-five years of his life, Gestetner was a rolling stone and accordingly gathered no moss. Leaving school in 1867, he began working for an uncle in Sopron, making sausages. Four years later he apprenticed himself to another uncle, a stockbroker, in Vienna. The financial crisis of 1873 prompted a move to a restaurant, also in the family, but tiring of a menial existence, he emigrated to the USA, travelling steerage. He began to earn a living by selling Japanese kites: these were made of strong Japanese paper coated with lacquer, and he noted their long fibres and great strength, an observation that was later to prove useful when he was searching for a suitable medium for stencil duplicating. However, he did not prosper in the USA and he returned to Europe, first to Vienna and finally to London in 1879. He took a job with Fairholme \& Co., stationers in Shoe Lane, off Holborn; at last Gestetner found an outlet for his inventive genius and he began his life's work in developing stencil duplicating. His first patent was in 1879 for an application of the hectograph, an early method of duplicating documents. In 1881, he patented the toothed-wheel pen, or Cyclostyle, which made good ink-passing perforations in the stencil paper, with which he was able to pioneer the first practicable form of stencil duplicating. He then adopted a better stencil tissue of Japanese paper coated with wax, and later an improved form of pen. This assured the success of Gestetner's form of stencil duplicating and it became established practice in offices in the late 1880s. Gestetner began to manufacture the apparatus in premises in Sun Street, at first under the name of Fairholme, since they had defrayed the patent expenses and otherwise supported him financially, in return for which Gestetner assigned them his patent rights. In 1882 he patented the wheel pen in the USA and appointed an agent to sell the equipment there. In 1884 he moved to larger premises, and three years later to still larger premises. The introduction of the typewriter prompted modifications that enabled stencil duplicating to become both the standard means of printing short runs of copy and an essential piece of equipment in offices. Before the First World War, Gestetner's products were being sold around the world; in fact he created one of the first truly international distribution networks. He finally moved to a large factory to the north-east of London: when his company went public in 1929, it had a share capital of nearly £750,000. It was only with the development of electrostatic photocopying and small office offset litho machines that stencil duplicating began to decline in the 1960s. The firm David Gestetner had founded adapted to the new conditions and prospers still, under the direction of his grandson and namesake.[br]Further ReadingW.B.Proudfoot, 1972, The Origin of Stencil Duplicating London: Hutchinson (gives a good account of the method and the development of the Gestetner process, together with some details of his life).H.V.Culpan, 1951, "The House of Gestetner", in Gestetner 70th Anniversary Celebration Brochure, London: Gestetner.LRD -
13 reserva2
2 = hold, reservation, reserve, set-aside, title hold, booking, slack, cushion, standby [stand-by], deposit, collection.Ex. This system incorporates all the usual functions associated with the issue, return and reservation of library materials.Ex. This is sometimes called a ' reserve' because the document is reserved for a borrower when it becomes available.Ex. Even sympathetic librarians may not have the political clout to force their local government to mandate minority business set-asides.Ex. If there is a title hold on the copy, an error message is displayed and the master number is not changed.Ex. Film and other media bookings can be handled by one or two programs which are available for microcomputers.Ex. Therefore, there must be some slack in the system to absorb the additional I & R services or the service must be reduced in other areas.Ex. Libraries ordinarily have only a small staff ' cushion' to provide for sickness, vacation, and compensatory days off.Ex. Standbys and understudies rarely get the job when a star needs to be replaced long-term, and Calaway and Patterson know how lucky they are to have beaten the odds.Ex. Accommodation deposit will be refunded minus $25 handling fee.Ex. While there are a profusion of techniques in existence to gain access to the collections, there is no uniform system.----* acumulación de reservas = stockpile, accumulation of stockpiles, stockpiling.* acumular reservas = stockpile.* admitir un número de reservas mayor a las plazas existentes = overbook.* colocar Algo en reserva = place + Nombre + in reserve, place + Nombre + on reserve, place + Nombre + on hold.* depósito de reserva = local reserve store, reserve store.* de reserva = standby [stand-by].* descuento por reserva anticipada = early booking discount.* ejército de reserva = reserve army.* en estado de reserva = on standby.* en reserva = on hold.* estantería de reserva = hold shelf.* fondo de reserva = reserve fund.* guardar en reserva = keep in + reserve, hold in + reserve.* hacer una reserva = make + reservation.* hoja de reserva = hold slip, booking form.* impreso de reserva = booking form.* lista de reserva = hold list.* mantener en reserva = keep on + reserve, keep in + reserve.* material de reserva = reserve stock.* que no admite reserva = unreserved.* reserva de billetes de avión = airline reservation.* reserva de hotel = hotel reservation.* reserva de libro = book reservation.* reserva de libros = reserve book room.* reserva de multimedia = media booking.* reserva de películas = film booking.* reserva de puestos de lectura = seat reservation.* reserva disponible = hold available.* reservas = stockpile.* satisfacer una petición de reserva = satisfy + hold request.* satisfacer una reserva = satisfy + hold.* sin reserva = unreserved.* sin reservas = forthright, categorical, uncompromising, uncompromisingly, unqualified, categoric, unmitigaged.* sistema de reservas = booking system.* solicitud de reserva = reservation form.* tener en reserva = hold in + reserve.* vino de reserva = mature wine. -
